How copyright fits in with LLM is an evolving thing. It's just best that we are 
up front about it. Someone shouldn't write "this is original code I wrote" and 
then it turns out to be substantially similar to someone else's code slurped up 
by an LLM. One of the great things about git is if a PR is accused of copyright 
infringement, we will know exactly which lines of code to remove/replace.

Git has solved a pernicious problem I've had now and then - being accused of 
copyright violation. I keep good records and was able to defeat all of them. But 
with git it's not even an issue - there's the provenance of every line of code, 
all time and date stamped and who contributed it, and it's on github's backup tapes.
